I'm Rutika Wakale — a digital marketing expert driven by curiosity, creativity, and a deep interest in how people think, choose, and connect. My journey didn't begin with strategy decks or analytics dashboards. It began with a simple fascination: ads always felt powerful to me. A single line, a bold visual, or a subtle emotional trigger had the ability to influence decisions instantly.
Currently pursuing a BBA in Marketing at IBMRD while advancing my expertise through Digifine Academy's postgraduate programme in digital marketing. This combination allows me to balance theoretical understanding with real-world application — shaping me into a performance marketer who doesn't just execute campaigns, but understands the "why" behind every decision.
What truly draws me toward digital marketing is not just selling products — it is building meaningful connections. Every click, scroll, pause, or interaction tells a story. As a digital marketing strategist, my goal is to decode those stories and transform them into strategies that create real impact. The best marketing is built on data, driven by curiosity, and delivered through compelling storytelling.
A curated set of capabilities built through hands-on training, live projects, and continuous learning. Every channel is interconnected — and I approach them that way.
As a PPC specialist, I create and manage campaigns across Google, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube — with a focus on precision, audience segmentation, A/B testing, and continuous optimisation of CTR, CPC, and ROAS. Every rupee spent must deliver value.
As an SEO specialist, I focus on long-term growth through keyword research, on-page optimisation, technical SEO (speed, mobile, crawlability), and link building — ensuring brands are discoverable organically while reducing dependency on paid channels.
Platform-native content strategies tailored for each channel — Instagram for visuals and storytelling, LinkedIn for professional value, YouTube as a content hub. I track metrics beyond likes: saves, shares, and meaningful interactions that signal real engagement.
Display and video advertising at scale via DSPs — leveraging audience data, retargeting flows, and real-time bidding to reach the right users at the right moment and improve brand recall by measurable margins.
Data is the backbone of digital marketing. Using Google Analytics, Tag Manager, and Meta Business Suite, I analyse user behaviour — where they come from, what they do, and where they drop off — then refine strategies to make campaigns more effective over time.
Writing persuasive ad copy, SEO-optimised blog content, email sequences, and social captions that communicate clearly and convert effectively. Sharing knowledge through blogs also helps reinforce learning and simplify complex topics like SEO and analytics.
Email remains one of the most effective channels. I focus on personalisation and segmentation — building automation workflows in Mailchimp and HubSpot that nurture leads over time, tracking open rates, click-through rates, and conversions to continuously optimise.
Building lead nurturing flows, CRM integrations, and lifecycle marketing sequences using HubSpot and Mailchimp to scale personalised communication. Every channel is interconnected — automation ties them together into a cohesive, always-on strategy.
Small changes create big impact. I continuously test landing pages, CTAs, button placement, and form fields — analysing user journeys to make the experience smooth and conversion-friendly. The process is simple but powerful: test, analyse, optimise, repeat.
Hands-on digital marketing projects that demonstrate strategy, execution, and measurable results — each one a learning ground.
As a digital marketing expert, I helped an online store increase sales through a combination of PPC and SEO strategies. Campaign restructuring and keyword optimisation reduced costs while improving conversions — driving a 3x increase in organic traffic and a 40% reduction in cost-per-acquisition over 3 months.
As a PPC specialist, I ran targeted Meta campaigns for a coaching institute — generating high-quality leads at lower costs through continuous testing and optimisation. Built custom and lookalike audiences, A/B tested creatives, and optimised for lead form conversions, achieving a 65% decrease in cost-per-lead while scaling spend by 2x.
Using advanced tools including DV360, I executed display campaigns that improved brand recall and visibility for a real estate brand — leveraging audience data segmentation, contextual targeting, and frequency management to reach high-intent prospects at scale.
As a digital marketing strategist, I built a strong social media presence for a lifestyle brand — developing platform-native content strategies, increasing engagement and follower growth through consistent storytelling, and tracking meaningful metrics beyond vanity numbers.
